Odd though... it looks identical to 10.6.3

Are you being serious right now?

SmileyBlast! · Nov 29, 2012, 11:52 AM

Really looking forward to this.
I hope they fix Duplicates and Missing Album Art.
Also the should push custom album art to iTunes Match.

Apple is always on a tight rope. Everyone is always willing to bow down and kiss the ring when things go well, but then scream bloody murder when both legitimate and trivial things don't go well.

Lets give them credit where credit is due if this new version rolls out relatively bug free. I'd rather they take their time.

my apologies, you sound like you were working there recently. if so, i hope you're damn right. despite what you say, i still think its bad, and unacceptable, to inform us at the last minute. how about they be more transparent, that would earn my respect more than disappointing us.

Nothing is wrong with me. That's just how i feel about this thing being dragged out.

testing can only be done so little.
the real test comes when real customers use it. the number of applecare representatives isn't that huge to actually report any major bug.

the same reason why hardware products ship with issue.

thats rational thinking.

With the real thing coming out within hours of this?

As far as the redesign goes... I hope there's a classic view. (I really hate change).

Load time is based on how big - how many entries you have in your library.
Parsing 10,000 song entries and loading some images can take while and a big chunk of memory.

People with low load times, may just have small libraries. I have over 7000 songs plus movies, apps, tv shows. It can take 3 minutes to "check" my library. I understand it can't be much faster - as that's a lot of XML to process.

FLAC anyone?

Short answer: no.

You can try this: http://code.google.com/p/flukeformac/ but iTunes must run in 32
Bit mode, and it won't help you on iOS obviously.

yeah, i have to remember im pretty much a perfectionist when it comes to my artwork, especially for my videos, all of them have artwork that is in the size regions of atleast 900 pixels. up to 1500 pixels or more.

3 TB library here and iTunes starts in a bit more than one bounce. It doesn't load everything at once. Some kind of lazy loading is used.

If they're in such a rush, why didn't they postpone it to December or January in the first place?
